Merge proposal

[edit]

Europeanism seems to discuss two theories of values, which would better be discussed in the context of the broader topic; specifically, in the section here on values. Klbrain (talk) 21:42, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

European identity and statistics

[edit]

Shouldn't it be moved to European identity? Seem to be dominating name. There is no statistcs about how many people identifies themselves as Europeans in European Union, Europe and all over the world? We have Yugoslavs in Serbia. Eurohunter (talk) 11:56, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kalergi and Britain

[edit]

The opening paragraph states that Kalergi viewed Paneuropa as being "in explicit opposition to... Great Britain and the United States" and cites the exclusion of the British Isles as proof of this. This is a horribly inaccurate conclusion (that Kalergi wanted Paneuropa to oppose GB/US) drawn from a true claim (that the Isles were not part of Paneuropa). The citation does not support it either. Having read Kalergi's Paneuropa and a host of secondary readings on Kalergi, I wish to present his actual view and have it included instead.

Kalergi argued that Paneuropa would be just one of three European states who would collaborate each other in pursuit of the "European cultural task". He was a support of European colonialism and valued the British Empire's contributions to global imperialism. He excluded the British Empire from Paneuropa not because he was opposed to Britain, but because the Empire was already so large that he believed integrating it with the rest of Europe would not make sense. Instead, Britain formed its own political space. However, Kalergi asserted that Britain's rightful place would be within Paneuropa should she lose her empire.
